    How Does It Work?

    Game-Ready

    See the Athletics flowchart for more informationinformation.


    TeamStep Sports1: Submit Your Interest

    Visit athletics.onlineschool.ca to register your student’s intent to play. Crucial Timeline: You must submit your interest well ahead of time to clear local zone athletic association deadlines.

    Timeline is relative to the seasons of play

    Fall - September, submit your interest 3 weeks prior to September (August 10th)

    Winter - November, submit your interest 6 weeks prior to November (September 20th)

    Winter-Ext - February, submit your interest 8 weeks prior to February (December 10th)

    Spring - March, submit your interest 6 weeks prior to March (January 18th)

    Step 1
    A2:  Uppli Registration & Athletics Fees

    HCOS utilizes our secure internal platform, Uppli, for all official event management.

    • Once your sports placement or registration is approved by the Athletics Department, you will receive an Uppli registration link to submit.

      • Note:  if you have not already created an Uppli account, please see this SOPHIE page on instructions to do so.

    • All mandatory individual event entry fees, HCOS competition singlets, or team participation balances are collected through this system.

      • Initial fee, optional singlet and optional T-shirt fees will be collected at the time of form submission, by credit card.

      • As applicable, any additional fees will be invoiced.

    Step 3: Complete Parent-Coach Compliance

    Because our student-athletes are spread across BC, an HCOS staff member cannot always be present on-site at every meet.

    • The Policy: If a parent is managing/transporting the athlete at an official BCSS event, they must be cleared as the designated coach.

    • Action Required: Parents must complete the free, online Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT) and submit their completion certificate to the Athletics Department prior to the first game.

    Important Logistics to Remember

    • Financial Responsibility: Families are responsible for all sport-specific equipment, travel, and overnight accommodation costs for regional or Provincial championships.

    • Insurance: HCOS Teacherdoes talksnot withprovide secondary accidental insurance coverage. All student-athletes participate in external training and competitions at their own risk.

    • Scores & Records: For individual sports advancing through "Zone" tournaments into the child"Valleys" (Regional Championships), it is the parent/coach’s responsibility to ask about whether they are interested in sports.
